Camí de la Cabroa in Montsec is a thrilling off road experience

Camí de la Cabroa is the name of a defiant wild cliff road located in the comarca of Noguera, in the province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain.

Tucked away on the northern part of the country, within the Montsec mountain range, Camí de la Cabroa, also known as Camí de la Cabrua, is totally unpaved, narrow and steep, hitting a 14% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps.

The route is dangerous. Not recommended to newbies. Along the way you’ll have to deal with some dangerous drop offs. It’s an old mining road built in 1898.Attempting it in anything but a High-Clearance, preferably 4-wheel drive vehicle is a recipe for disaster.

The road is 4.1 km (2.54 miles) long, running from the abandoned town of Rúbies to Santa Maria de Meià. The elevation gain is 473 m and the average gradient is 11.53%.
